The Infor Development Framework (IDF) re-architects the way a user interacts with the application. IDF provides an efficient, task-oriented process to view application information that is contained within Infor LX. IDF enables users to configure their view of the application data without modifying the core application and its supportability.

The examples below describe how users can configure their display of data and maximize overall productivity:

• Arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that make sense for the job.
• Hide information that does not apply to a particular job or task.
• Filter records to show only the information that applies to the job or task that the user is performing.
• Customize the information for an individual user, for a group of users, or for all users.
   

Did you know?  Product interface list, SYS635D

This program creates a report that contains all interface program call records that were created for the Infor LX programs specified in the range on this screen. The report contains a line for each record found. The line displays the following information:

• The name of an Infor LX program that contains a user exit to an add-on program
• The interface point in the Infor LX program, that is, an identifier of the point in the program code where the user exit is requested
• The execution sequence number of the record, because more than one add-on program can exist that can run from the same interface point
• The add-on program to call at the interface point. The Add-on Product Interface file, ZXI, stores the records.

TECHNOLOGY: Advantages of Data Replication

Instead of sharing tables through logical linking, you can replicate table content between companies. This approach allows certain non-key attributes of a record to vary by company. For example, if you replicate bills of materials rather than sharing them, each company can associate a different warehouse with the same bill of material. This way, the bills of materials are consistent across companies, while the warehouses can differ.

Replication also enables selective availability of records in other companies. For instance, when replicating items, you might limit which items are available in a sales company based on their item group, only including end items. You can further refine replication to specific subsets, such as particular item groups.

Keep in mind that replication requires any referenced tables to be either replicated or shared as well.
